Why does it take longer to cook organic rajma and chana?

Organic pulses, like rajma and chana, tend to have a slightly different texture and composition compared to conventionally grown ones. Due to their natural cultivation methods, they may require a bit more time to soften during cooking. This is because organic pulses are cultivated without the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, resulting in a heartier and more resilient product.

To ensure that your rajma and chana are perfectly cooked and enjoyable, here are a few tips: 
  1. Soaking Time: Increasing the soaking time before cooking can significantly reduce the overall cooking time. Instead of the usual duration, consider soaking the pulses for a longer period, like overnight or up to 8-10 hours. This helps to hydrate the pulses and kickstart the cooking process.
  1. Cooking Time: It's advisable to adjust the cooking time to accommodate the natural variability of the pulses. For instance, if you usually cook rajma with 4 whistles, you might want to increase it to 6 whistles. This extended cooking time allows the organic pulses to fully soften and achieve the desired consistency. 
  1. High Quality: Remember that the slightly longer cooking time is not a reflection of low quality. On the contrary, it's a testament to the organic nature of the pulses, highlighting their authenticity and nutritional benefits. The end result, with a little extra time, will undoubtedly be worth it in terms of flavor, texture, and overall quality.
